Michigan Middle Of The Pack In Beer Tax

The taxation of beer varies widely across the U.S., ranging from a low of two cents per gallon in Wyoming to a high of a dollar-29 per gallon in Tennessee, according to the Washington DC-based Tax Foundation.

And Michigan is close to the middle.

Michigan ranks 28th lowest in the country at 20 cents per gallon of beer.

However Michigan’s beer taxation is higher than Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin, the three adjacent states.

Wisconsin in particular is among the states with the lowest beer tax, at just six cents per gallon.

The beer tax in Michigan is an excise tax, a flat per-unit tax that is paid directly to the state by the merchant before it’s sold.
